And Another Thing...

What's new? It's been a while, here's what I've been up to.

I made some pillows, that match a quilt made with "Fandango" that a friend made.

I made some Bee blocks, here's September, based on "Map of the States" by Oh Fransson.

I love the screen printed bird fabric that Lauree sent!

And here's a house block that Heather requested.

Houses are hard!

I have been humbled by the house block. They are definitely harder than they look. This is about my sixth attempt. There were a lot of remodels before the final result.

She wanted bright, and I would absolutely live in a hot pink house. With a flower petal roof. And a pink flamingo in the yard.

Who wouldn't?

What else? I saw Kathy Griffin.

She's a tiny little pocket person, and never took a breath the whole time she was on stage.

Fabulous.

And I went to the Pacific International Quilt Festival with my dear, dear friend.

I fell in love with this one, by Carol Taylor.

I seem to remember falling in love with another of her quilts last year at the show. I think I might be in love with Carol Taylor. I just Googled her and found out that she's going to be teaching locally in January. I need to take me some classes! I don't think it's stalking if you pay to see someone, right?

I didn't catch who made this quilt, but it's awe inspiring.

I can't begin to imagine how someone made it.

My brain doesn't work that way.

And what else?

I finished the binding on the Sultry quilt.

And I started a triangle quilt out of Origins.

I love me some Origins. It looks really yellow in this picture, but it is a yellow background, so maybe it's closer than I think.

I used the very scientific "SIAH" process to pick the background of Bella Butter fabric; Stuff I Already Had. I think it works.

You'd think I'd have more things to share, it's been so long, but I don't. I'm a pretty boring person at heart. I watch a lot of TV, I try to make my dog snuggle with me, I work full time. Today IS the Sweet Baboo's birthday though, THAT'S exciting! We're meeting friends at a Fondue restaurant tonight. Should be tons of fun.

I'll let you know.
